Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum weight a Type 1 Button-fix can support?
A: As a general guide, four Type 1 fasteners on a vertical panel can support up to 200kg (440lbs), provided the screws and substrate are correctly matched. It is always recommended to perform load tests for critical applications.

Q: Can I use the Button-fix Type 1 for horizontal panel applications, like shelves?
A: Yes. The Type 1 is specifically recommended when panels are carrying cantilevered loads, such as shelving, due to its emphasis on strength.

Q: Do I need to buy the screws separately?
A: Yes, the Fix and Button set includes the plastic components only. You will need to source appropriate Countersunk (CSK) wood screws for your specific substrate.

Q: How does the "sideways engagement" work?
A: Unlike traditional cleat or gravity fasteners (French Cleats/Split Battens) that require vertical lift, the Button-fix Type 1 allows the panel to be slid into place horizontally until it 'clicks' securely. This is crucial for applications where there is no space above the panel to lift it into place.

Button-fix™ vs. Traditional Fixings & Competitors

Fixing Type	Assembly Method	Visibility	Strength	Removability	Ideal Application
Button-fix™ Type 1	Slide & Click	Invisible	High/Load-Bearing	Easy	High-end, demountable panels, shelving
French Cleats	Drop-Down	Concealed (Usually)	Moderate/High	Easy (if clearance exists)	General wall hanging, requires clearance
Keku® Fixings (Example Competitor)	Varies (often push-on)	Invisible	Moderate	Can be tricky/prone to snapping	Lightweight access panels, small furniture
Standard Wood Screws	Direct Fastening	Highly Visible	High	Difficult/Repeated removal damages substrate	Permanent, non-cosmetic joins

Why Choose Button-fix™ over Alternatives?

The Button-fix™ Type 1 offers a superior blend of strength, invisibility, and removability. Compared to basic gravity cleats, its slide & click mechanism provides security against accidental dislodging. Furthermore, in the landscape of concealed panel clips, the Type 1 is renowned for its indestructible nylon construction and ease of use, particularly with the optional Button Marker tool for perfect alignment.
